Afam Osigwe, SAN, Delivers Insightful Analysis on Ethical Aspects of Remuneration Order at NBA Uyo Branch Law Week
The Legal Practitioners Remuneration Order 2023 is a regulatory framework that establishes billing rates for legal practitioners, dividing geographical regions into state bands. These bands are defined by various criteria, including population density, cost of living, and economic activity, which affect the billing rates applicable to lawyers practicing within each band. The crucial question remains: under what circumstances can a lawyer be classified within a particular state band for billing purposes?
At the opening ceremony of the Nigerian Bar Association Uyo Branch Law Week, Afam Osigwe, SAN, took part as a discussant in the panel session focused on the critical theme: “Professional Conduct vis-a-vis the Remuneration Order.”
During the panel session, Osigwe delved into the ethical implications of the Remuneration Order for legal practitioners, emphasizing the importance of upholding professional standards while navigating compensation-related issues.
The Remuneration Order governs the fees that legal practitioners can levy for their services, aiming to ensure fairness and transparency in billing practices. Osigwe explored how adherence to this order intersects with broader ethical considerations, such as integrity, fairness, and client trust.
He also examined the impact of the Remuneration Order on the legal profession’s reputation and public perception, highlighting the importance of striking a balance between professional ethics and financial considerations.
By addressing these issues, Osigwe contributed to a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding professional conduct and remuneration within the legal profession.
